Does being physically fit give you a sense of superiority?

I cannot see many HS kids doing more than 10.

I am 57 and can do 13. Does that make me feel superior -- not really but I do feel I could kick and ass of most people if needed -- that is a good feeling. At DC's private high school the kids with the football commits can do 10-15. No elites there. I would think you would see a Texas or ND or Miami commit for offensive line doing 20.

Bench press won't help you kick ass when you skip leg day. I bet you don't even do squats bro.

I feel superior to the version of me that was not physically fit.

Not superior to anyone else who is playing their own game.

Unless you are built like a linebacker (i.e. not aesthetic), 525 for 3 is absolutely an impressive squat. DYEL brah?

Being in shape makes feel great; in very few situations does it cross into “superior”.

And that is typically on vacation, at the beach where my 11 months and 2 weeks of eating healthy and exercising are out the window.

I look amazing in any clothes/bathing suit and am eating all the same terrible food everyone else is eating. Drinking alcohol and enjoying life.

After that week or two, I still look amazing- just have to put in another 50 weeks of discipline to enjoy the results of the break(s) at the beach.

I don’t feel superior but it definitely feels good that at 43 I can out lift most women half my age while being fairly small in size.

You SHOULD feel superior. I give you permission: you’re awesome, you’re disciplined, you care. Strength training really is magical. It gave me a whole new confidence that I didn’t even realize I was missing. And I’m lifting probably half what you do.

That is a lot. Offensive linemen -- round 3 or later int he draft get only a couple of more.

Mind if I ask what you lift and who long it took? I want to get stronger and feel like a dope with my 10lb dumb bells. Can you slowly go up?

You can and should go up slowly, but I would suspect on many lifts you can do significantly more than 10lbs already. Strength does not happen overnight though some people are simply genetically much stronger than others. I am not particularly genetically gifted but mostly through consistency I can now deadlift 300lbs, squat 225lbs and bench 150lbs. I can also do 10 pull-ups. There are power lifters much stronger than me of course but it is very rare to see women of similar size lifting close to these numbers in your generic commercial gym and I am pretty happy with what I accomplished. Also, most of the rapid strength gains came at the very beginning of my lifting journey. Now that I am closer to my genetic limits it is a much slower going.
